About Eileen Milsted LPC, ART-BC, LPAT

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the States of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I am also a Licensed and Board Certified Art Therapist. 

Over the last 10 + years my journey as a therapist

has taken me through inpatient work, outpatient services, and group/ private practice.  For the past

 6 years my focus has been on women's trauma across the lifespan.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, comfortable and healing environment for

anyone who is willing. Therapy should be a partnership between the client and the therapist,

working together to foster confidence and connection to one’s self. I enjoy sitting with my

clients as we get to know themes that occur repeatedly in one's life. 

I encourage my clients to approach 'problematic' behaviors with curiosity, moving away from the tendency to remain stuck in judgment. Oftentimes holding space for our thoughts/feelings and sitting in what is uncomfortable can bring us to understanding and healing.

As a level 1 IFS therapist I pride myself in providing a safe and comfortable environment where my clients can show up authentically and be met with curiosity and compassion.

I have accumulated over a decade of experience working with various forms of trauma. I aim

to support my clients in working towards understanding as well as symptom management. I

often land in an eclectic space when it comes to therapeutic approaches as I believe

treating the client individually and uniquely works best. 

Staying within the IFS framework, I also find it

 beneficial to incorporate mindfulness and sensory based techniques to calm the system and 

increase the mind body connection.
